I must say that Hyrule Warriors is shaping up nicely. Graphics look decent now and there seems to be a good bunch of playable characters. I still expect a lot of repetition in the gameplay, but otherwise the game left a good second impression.

As for the actual Zelda game on Wii U, I say that's not Link. It's a new character that is the designated hero, but dies or gets severly injured in an intro sequence and then Link takes over his (or her? still unsure) belongings. Or rather just the bow and arrow, because Link will have his own sword and shield, as well as his own horse. That might very well be pointless speculation just to start a fight, so watch out.

EDIT: Whoever believes in the timeline is probably also a theist.

Yeah I gotta agree with you, HW is shaping up quite nicely! I probably won't buy it, but I think they've done a fine job as far art style and graphics goes (considering it is a Dynasty Warriors game)

That's an interesting theory! I just think the person we see in the trailer looks way too much like Link to be some sort of decoy though. But I kinda like how that would work!

But looking like Link would be the entire point. The legend that is passed down fits the looks of this character, so that's why he/she is assumed to be the designated hero; being able to handle a bow and thus being a fighter helps too. Why is this character righthanded when the Gamepad is going to be used as the controller?

Link is probably a bit clumsy, hence why it wasn't him who was assumed to be the designated hero. But due to circumstance, his fate begins to change. Such a build-up has been integrated in almost all Zelda games.

Yeah I guess you're right. That would be a cool story (and twist), and coming to think about it, it almost always seem like Link is the unexpected hero - even though Nintendo never really quite delved that much into it at depths. It would be cool to see a story where they explore that a bit more. Link rises up to the occasion because he HAS to, even though he's a bit on the lazy side to begin with. I've always kinda liked that with Link. He's kind of a nobody that does what needs to be done, even if he's afraid. That's why he "earns" the Triforce of Courage. But that's just me reading way too much into Link as a character I guess :P

So, I've done a rather in depth look and analyzes of the new Zelda game: http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=185098

This could be a sequel to SS, and thus a prequel to everything else. I also speculate that Link in this game might be the child of Zelda and older Link in SS... OR this could be the Sealing War from before ALTTP

"That was Link you saw in Nintendo's tease of the Wii U Zelda during the E3 Digital Event, and it wasn't a female version, despite online speculation.

Zelda series producer Eiji Aonuma told MMGN the comment leading to rumours the character we saw might not be Link was taken out of context, and was intended as a joke."

There we have it. Link was in the trailer.

Yeah, if that is the actual gameplay it's the damn smoothes gameplay I've ever seen and it will blow EVERYTHING out of the waters. So, no, that's probably not real gameplay ^^

So, I think this game will occur at the same time of Wind Waker but in the child timeline.
